You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon sign
But I finally drove out where
The sky is dark enough to see stars
And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars

I hope I never see
The ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in
Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me
Out with your din
And then I learned how to swim

I was floating above myself
Watching her do just what you wanted
Poor little friendly ghost
Wondering why her whole house feels haunted
I told myself I was strong enuf
That I had plenty of blood to give
And each elbow cradled a needle
But listless and faint ain't no way to live

So I hope I never see
The ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in
Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me
Out with your din
And then I learned how to swim

You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon sign
But I finally drove out where
The sky is dark enough to see stars
And I found I missed no one
Just listening to the swishing of distant cars

Drive you in, drive you in
I swim
Down the coast on a..
To the sand

Raise the sand to the wind
I'll leave
See the hills on the land

I won't come home till after
I've shaken hands with native lands
And kiss the old friends back there
Cause I wanted water

Drive you in, drive you in
I swim
Reach the edge of the shore
Dive in

I won't come home till after
I've shaken hands with native lands
And kiss the old friends back there
Cause I wanted water

Could not believe, came here today
Helmet was on, you blew me away
House is on fire, we're naked again
Maybe all we need is water and friends

Shackles and chains won't keep me away
Temple is you and my brow is insane

I wanna be just like you, I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you, I wanna live, I wanna die you

Thinning ice, 14 hairdryers
I'm swimming to you, flame on earth desire
Poor on the rise, rich on the fall
This cripple's with you, fame is a whore

I wanna be just like you, I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you, I wanna live, I wanna die you
I wanna fit inside you, I wanna room inside you
If money talks I wanna buy you, I wanna die
I wanna die, I wanna live you

I'm not scared of you, could give up on drugs
If I make it through the jaws of love, the jaws of love

I wanna be just like you, I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you, I wanna die, I wanna live you

I wanna fit inside you, I wanna room inside you
If money talks, if money talks, if money talks, if money talks

You give and you give and you give
You give and you give and you give and
You give and you give and you give and you

Kill, kill or be killed for
Expected life to be so safe
Caught, caught in a mantrap
Another part of me has changed
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Fill, filled with emotion
Sailing off the edge again
Drown, drown all devotion
Riding on a drift to hell
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Can't find my way.

You've gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far to fall off the earth

The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor, yeah
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Through nights that won't end
Swim for your family
Your lovers, your sisters
And brothers, and friends
Yeah, you gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed as a flaw

The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor, yeah
I swim to brighter days
Despite of the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There's no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting
And wait for the spark
Yeah, you gotta swim
Don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you, it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim

Quit hanging over me,
Look at the hair on the back of my neck.
Standing up on the rooftops,
Remembering everything she said.

Swim to reach the end,
But I am steady not to offend,
On whom can you depend?
Swim to reach the end.

Swim to reach the end (x4)

Lucid afternoon dream
Cosmopolitan scene.
Look at what's in store for me.
Heads will turn in disbelief.

Relish in your energy.
That's the line of symmetry. (x2)

Swim to reach the end,
But I am steady not to offend,
On whom can you depend?
Swim to reach the end.

Swim to reach the end (x4)

You keep telling me I'm beautiful
But I feel a little less so each time
Your love is so colorful
It flashes like a neon sign

Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for

Put your head on my shoulder baby
Things can't get any worse
Night is getting colder
Sometimes life feels like it's a curse

I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry any more
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

Children killing children
While the students rape their teachers
Comets fly across the sky
While the churches burn their preachers

We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry any more
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

Let the water wash over you
Wash it all over you
Swim to the ocean floor

So that we can begin again
Wash away all our sins
Crash to the other shore

Mmmmmm

I can't carry these sins on my back
Don't wanna carry any more
I'm gonna carry this train off the track
I'm gonna swim to the ocean floor

Mmmmm
Crash to the other shore
Mmmmm
Swim to the ocean floor

We can't carry these sins on our back
Don't wanna carry any more
We're gonna carry this train off the track
We're gonna swim to the ocean floor

Crash to the other shore
Swim to the ocean floor
Mmmmmm

Sometimes I find myself stuck in the middle with nowhere to turn
So I pull it in and tell myself it all works out
But then again no one helps when things go wrong
So I saved myself saved myself I learned how to swim

Sometimes you find yourself stuck in the crowd with nowhere to turn
So you go against what everybody feels but feelings burn
Then you'll see that no one person rules the world
You tell yourself that everybody learns how to swim
With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
Just swim with it but first...

You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I'm not your mother or your father
You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I can't go any further but I know

It's hard to do the right thing in the right place
When you want to do something else in their face
Do what I do don't turn your back and walk away no
Do what I do and learn how to swim

With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
Just swim with it but first...
You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I'm not your mother or your father
You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I can't go any further NO NO

Just learn how to swim
With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
Just swim with it but first...

You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I'm not your mother or your father
You put your feet on the ground I can't pick you up every time you're falling down
No I can't go any further
Put your feet on the ground
Won't you put your feet on the ground, no I can't pick you up
Everytime you're falling down
Put your feet on the ground
And learn how to swim
With it don't fight the tide, don't fight the tide
Just swim...

As we build a brand new planet
Lets reconstruct and get it straight

Unlock forgotten skills
Travel to a new dimension
Souls from the dark seduction
(Take heed), we are the new invention

We're the settlers of year zero
Lets reconstruct and take it back

Leaders of our time
Heading for a downfall
The threshold of revolution
(Take heed)The last freedom call

Blanked out fire etched on the crystal display
The seas are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb
Collect the word, add some gold and give it back
The seas are deep
You better swim
Don't go numb

From a thousand branches
Spreading the new voice

As we're heading for the throne
Connect, evolution will begin

This frame of mind
Young hollow man
Said all I've got to say
Done all I can
Won't even try
Wont even show
Don't tell me things
I don't want to know

CHORUS:
Swim through me
Make me more than whole
Come see what I mean
Make me feel secure

And in these days between when I fall apart
I'd run away but you know I'm not that smart
These strange ideas, I'll see them through
They've been a part of me
And I know that they're a part of you
And

CHORUS TO FADE
